The Traveling Tutor

As a 7th grade Life Skill teacher, one of the academic survival skills I taught them was study skills. This included ways to take notes in class, various study methods, and test taking skills. I also taught these aspects in my English classes. Hi! I'm Kathy, or "Miss R" as my students have called me, and I'm looking forward to being your family's tutor. I'm sure you're a little curious about me, so let me tell you a little bit about my teaching credentials. I'm a Virginia certified teacher with endorsements in English and Speech Communication. I've had a five years of teaching experience

Tutor with a "Tom Sawyer" approach.

One of the most disappointing things a student can hear is, "You are smart, but you aren't applying yourself. You don't study enough."

Retired Seasoned Teacher-40years successful tutoring

Part of training for the teaching of gifted and high ability students was to understand their specific needs. Many gifted students need help with organizational skills. Using a variety of strategies, assistance is given to students to help them in this area. Helping them to understand their self-efficacy allows for better grades in school. I have had over 40 years of successful tutoring and have taught for over 35 years with VBCPS. Elementary education is my main background, however, I do have a passion to work with special needs students, specifically those with ADHD, Aspergers, and those chi

Very experienced, motivating confidence-builder

As a teacher with close to forty years of instructional experience, I have taught secondary mathematics, grammar, writing, social studies, and classroom driver education.

As a professional student currently with a bachelors and working on a masters degree, and as a successful teacher who has closely observed the many ways students learn and relearn what they forget, I know a succ
